Shakespeare: The World as Stage – Bill Bryson's Witty

Shakespeare: The World as Stage – Bill Bryson's Witty Biography of the Celebrated Poet (Eminent Lives)

Bill Brysonâ€™s bestselling biography of William Shakespeare takes the reader on an enthralling tour through Elizabethan England and the eccentricities of Shakespearean scholarshipâ€”updated with a new introduction by the author to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeareâ€™s death
William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself. His Shakespeare is like no one else'sâ€”the beneficiary of Bryson's genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time.
